antp ◊ 2006-04-26 17:56	As it is a background vehicle, and that picture is taken from TV, I do not think that we will get better...

Celluloid ◊ 2006-04-26 18:33	Actually, I also think it's a 1950, I was wrong : even in those light conditions, one should be able to see the bottom parts of the hmm well "mustache"
